We are looking to recruit a new Community Therapy Support Worker to join our friendly Therapy team in Erewash.
We have part-time hours available (3 days per week), providing the opportunity to work within a variety of our different workstreams, including Higher Priority and Routine core.
You will be required to see patients in the Community, which will give you the opportunity to adopt agile working between your own home and our two bases: Long Eaton Health Centre and Ilkeston Community Hospital. This offers great flexibility and independence for your day-to-day diary management.
The Core Community Therapy team comprises Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, along with band 4 and band 3 support workers. We are part of a large Integrated Community Team that includes Community Nursing, Care Coordinators, and the Erewash Care Team.
We work closely with Rapid Community Therapy, and you will be required to work weekends as part of a shared rota. This will give you the opportunity to see urgent patients as part of a wider team. You will receive enhanced weekend pay and days off during the week as a result.
You will be joining an established team with a wealth of experience. If you have the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience, please get in touch.
You will be required to follow treatment plans within the patient record and, under the direction of the qualified Therapists, deliver therapy interventions to patients in the Community setting.
You will have a set diary structure for patient visits (6 per day) and will be expected to manage your diary accordingly. You will also be expected to attend and engage in daily morning capacity meetings and weekly MDT meetings.
We view Community as a specialty in its own right, and you will be exposed to a range of conditions and scenarios, including Falls, MSK, Neurology, Respiratory, manual handling, and equipment provision. This gives you the opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills across a wide area with an underlying focus on Frailty.
You will be required to complete an array of mandatory training related to your role, and we will identify any gaps in your knowledge and skills, supporting you to close these to gain your competencies as a Community Therapy Support Worker.
We really want to hear from you! Please get in touch to discuss anything or arrange a visit to come and meet the team.
